How To Upgrade the HBX 16889 - Oil Shocks & Metal Driveshafts

In this video I show you how to upgrade the latest version of the Haiboxing / HBX 16889 1/16 scale 4WD Racing Truck by fitting the following components:

* oil damped coil-over (CVA) shocks
* Metal / steel CVD (constant velocity) driveshafts and metal wheel axles to the front wheels
* Metal / steel driveshafts (dogbones) and steel wheel axles to the rear wheels

The shocks were a simple, straightforward swap, as were the front CVD drives, but the rear dogbones were a very different matter, and need a little "persuading"!!! I hope you find this "How To" video useful when working on your HBX 16889. Please feel free to ask any questions in the comments section below.
